What is the process for receiving a quote?

To receive a quote, click the "Request Work" button in the header of www.townhomelandscapes.com and submit your information. A Sales Rep will confirm that we received your submission via your preferred communication channel(s) and email you a questionnaire so that we can accurately and efficiently qualify the project(s) that you would like to complete. If you prefer, call us at 202-684-2477 and a Sales Rep will complete the questionnaire, based on your responses over the phone. After receiving your completed questionnaire, your Sales Rep will review your responses and determine if your project(s) is qualified or if more action is required to accurately qualify the project(s). If we determine more action is required to accurately qualify the scope of work required to complete your project, we often ask the potential client to submit photos/video of the areas to be serviced. Send photos/video to sales@townhomelandscapes.com from the email address we have on file. If the Sales Rep determines photos/videos are not enough to qualify the scope of work, they will reach out to coordinate a Site Assessment. Upon completing the Site Assessment, we will have qualified the projects. Finally, the Sales Rep will email the client when their quote has been created, with a link to view the quote in the client hub and make the deposit, if required.
